I will have to say interesting conversation you started here. I know I have learned a lot. I've actually started googling it but I am not sure how convinced I am to change. I will say you've made me think.

Thank you for your interest in Quilters Dream Angel. The Dream Angel is not a polyester, or a cotton (not recycled plastic either). It is a combination of two man-made fibers that has been specially engineered from tree pulp and sand to be flame retardant. It is not a chemically dipped fiber - instead the fibers are manufactured to be flame retardant, so the qualities will never be washed or rubbed off. Thank you for choosing Quilters Dream Batting. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.Best regards,Jane KinzieQuilters Dream Batting1-888-268-8664

Funny you should bring this subject up. I made an American flag for my classroom about 18 years ago and have had it up in every room I've been in. But just last week the fire Marshall came in and told me that I either needed treat the quilt with fire retardant spray or remove it from my wall.

Annie,

I'm not sure it's the quilt per se. As a former fire marshall I was taught that anything on the wall or taped to a fire door is a fire hazard.

Recently at the hospital many flyers and tape etc had to be taken down. Bulletin boards and frames are acceptable.

This is an interesting discussion but I feel there's so much that is potentially harmful in everyday life that nothing is 100% safe.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I finally received my flame retardant batting from Quilter's Dream Angel Batting. It's awesome. It looks like and feel very soft, like cotton. It has a wonderful smooth texture and feel really good in your hands. Very easy to hand quilt. The loft is low. I purchase the Select which is supposed to be a medium loft but to me, it's a low loft. I'm using two layers of batting which mean I have to order another one. All I can say is that it sews beautifully and I'll have peace of mind. Definately worth the couple of extra dollars.
